Those HR people who make the listing don't understand most of it anyway.

"I'm looking fora Data Analyst"

"Gotcha, we put up an ad for Data Science"

"No, Data Analyst, that's diff-"

"Here, we already got some applicants"

I'm learning how many names there are now for "person who can shoot and edit video" since I last needed to look for a job in my field. To the point that I suddenly find a new keyword and there's like 10 more jobs I can apply for.

Oh lord, as a 25 year industry vet in everything audio and video, that's been with my current company for a looooong time, this bothers me. Out of interest what kinda whacky names are you seeing for this kinda roll?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Weird-ass shit like “Lead Creative” and “Social Marketing Executive”

It’s also ridiculous how often I see „Java“ instead of „JavaScript“ in job listings.

Edit: Not trying to judge Java here, this is purely about recruiters not knowing the difference, posting jobs for Java devs when they need JS devs

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 days ago

Agreed, why haven't we killed java off? It's terrible and there are replacements. At least with JavaScript it's terrible but a monopoly.

Maybe they have a ton of different machines and need an app that works in any environment?
